would be nice to see a hardware teardown to get an idea how it works

  I'm sure it'd be against the NDA and hardly fair - given they have entrusted you with a free early version. Besides, the thing is really tiny

    I remember reading somewhere early on that it's basically two webcams, and nearly all the magic is in the software.

      Yes, as far as I understand it, it is an IR LED light source with a camera sensor and some simple optics. I don't know if it has stereo vision or not. Although even if it did, since it is such a small unit, the spatial difference between the two views would be quite low which would mean advantages of stereo would be quite negligible in terms of occlusion, etc.

        Here are some images of an early version. Basically it's two webcam-grade cameras and 3 IR LEDs. http://monleap.fr/537-kit-developpement-leap-motion-photos/ http://monleap.fr/537-kit-developpement-leap-motion-photos/ That's pretty much it. It makes me wonder why people are getting so excited about this ...
